Spinning target. (Read 4459 times)

slingbadger Interfector Viris Spurii Offline Don't Badger a Badger Posts: 3246 Akron NY Gender:	Spinning target. Feb 3^rd, 2016 at 6:25am Gander Mountain stores have a variety of spinning targets like this one. They're meant for shooting practice, but with a little modification, do you think they could be good for slinging??

Reply #2 - Feb 4^th, 2016 at 6:36pm There are two levels of targets, one is for rim fire and air guns, the other, much sturdier is for center fire handguns and rifles. I think your target selection will depend on what you use for ammo. If you are using large stones or fired clay, it might be better to get the more expensive center fire target.

The size wouldn't bother me as much as the fact that they are steel plates. If your going to be hitting targets that size you really need some good ammo. Steel plates will cause you to go through a lot of ammo as every hit on the target or the stand will shatter the ammo. Here in the US you can get thick rubber 9 inch circle targets for about 20 bucks. Same idea though.

Reply #6 - Mar 6^th, 2016 at 11:22am I just picked one up like this, but a variation of it. For the .22 I am working on a catch box, hockey net for behind it. Using my slingshot. I think if you had a net behind it, would be good to go. Ryan
